b HiAl a

Nashville is the headquarters Of the hard
ware trade for the South; is, also, the
largest hardware market for its size in, the
United States, or in the world. This city
sells more hardware than either Cincinnati
or Louisville, and the business amounts an
nually to about Sc, 600, 900. No branch of
business has been 80 fully developed as
this, and the trade here can compete with
any point In the country. In fact, Eastern
houses are compelled to sell goods In Nash
vile at lower prices than anywhere else in
order to secure any trade. The business
during the past year has been very satisfac-
tory. and the future promises to continue
the increase. The trade of Nashville houses
comprises Tennessee, Southern Kentucky,
North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi Louisiana and Ar
kansas. The representatives Of this not
able element Of business, as here given, in
dictate the houses Of wide reputation, for
whom may truly be claimed the essentials
Of sagacity and prudence, which have made
for this market 80 honorable and unperish-
able record.

cry GOODS-WHOLEsALE.

The wholesale Dry Goods trade of Nash
vile was one Of the earliest established feat
ures of its business interests and has al
ways contributed largely toward making
this commercial mart. The influence of
this department of trade has not confined
itself alone to the commercial interest, but
has assisted as much as any other in
building our factories, establishing our
railroads and organizing and managing our
banking interests. This department Of
trade was established a half a century ago,
and before the war was represented by
seven different houses doing in the aggre-
gate about two and half million dollars
annually. The trade was confined then
principally to Tennessee, with a few
sales made to Southern Kentucky and North
Alabama. Now this business is in the hands
of eleven different firms, whose annual
sales aggregate near five million dollars,
and the trade has ramified itself into as
many Southern States. Wherever new
territory is opened up to Nashville its dry
goods trade is sure to find its way.
The character OF the men at the head OF
this business is Of high order. They have
large capital, and no set Of business men
anywhere enjoy higher reputation for
strict integrity and fair dealing. They do
not hesitate to meet competition from any
source, as they buy their merchandise at as
low prices as money can get them, and with
| characteristic pluck and push they instruct
! their statesmen to sell egardless of COM
petition. This department commends it
self favorably to merchants from all sec
| lions Of the country.

FURNITURE MANUFACTURERS.

Nashville is not 30 famous for her man.
ufacture OF furniture as she will one day be-
come, yet even now she occupies COM
handing position in this industry
and boasts of a number of large
establishments that command the
trade Of a large territory. The proximity
Of Nashville to one Of the finest lumber re-
gions Of the country gives this place a noted
advantage, and energy and enterprise will
accomplish the rest at no distant day.
The largest two establishments in the
city, noted below, employ between four and
five hundred hands. The styles of furni-
ture made are new, very salable and es-
pecially adapted to the Southern demand,
as the chief part of the trade lies in the
South, extending from North Carolina to
Texas. A large part Of the year finds these
firms unable to keep up with orders, so prof
liable and advantageous do the trade find
the goods to handle.

FLOUR MILLS.

ELUUh MILLS.
Nashville is the most important milling
point in the South, excepting Richmond,
whose product is largely exported. The
capacity OF the Nashville mills amounts to
between l, 700 and 1900 barrels per day.
The greater portion of this flour is made
from wheat crown in Nashyille's territory
and is widely celebrated for its adaptabiIity
to warm climates. The trade is mostly
confined to the Southern States where
competition with Western and Northern
mills is met and generally overcome. As
contributing to the Indispensable needs of
the people, the -four producers are entitled
to the highest distinction and the examples
noted operate in keeping with the high
aims and correct principles of the market.

EDUCATIONAL.
Nashville stands pre-eminent as an educa-
tional center, surpassed by none. She has
no rival that can dispute the palm success
fully with her in this respect
The various schools and institutions Of
learning In Nashville are the cornerstone of
her glory and Ienown. Her free school
system will compare favorably with any
other in the United States, and her acade-
mics, colleges and universities rank high
with similar institutions elsewhere.
Here every child within scholastic age can
receive all the elements Of a first-class edu-
cation free, without money and without
price. But one step further than this has
been taken by any community, and that but
rarely In the United States.
We append a partial list of the leading
institutes OF learning who receive pupils
from all sections of the country.

A Newly Projected Florida Road.

A correspondent of the MORNING News,
writing from Lee, Madison county, Florida,
says: MY attention has been drawn of late
to the line of construction for the railway
between Naldosta and Deadman'S Bay, and
when the importance of that line is duly
considered, il b comes q matter of interest
to every one devoted to trade or other in
dustries The road from what | can learn,
is already graded to Rosters Ferry. on the
WithlacoOchee river, which is Immediately
north of the furnishing town of Lee, stu
ated between Madison and Elaville, on The
Florida Central and Western railway, from
whence it is nearly an airline route to Dead
mans Bay, the deviation being only about
seven miles in the whole distance between
the termni, deSderatum in construction
that no company, however extensive its
means, can overlook with pro-
Driety The writer has conversed
with persons who are intimate with the en-
tire route and their estimate is that the
road can be constructed on this line and cost
less by $50 coo or $40. 900 than by running it
elsewhere. as very little cutting will be re-
CURED from the level and solid condition of
soil over which it would pass: no trestle
work viii be required, and only two or
three small bridges, at II comparatively trif-
ling cost, will be needed. My land unfortu-

route or the right OF way would be cheer
fully accorded, and / doubt not that all
